SWITCHING ON THE APPLIANCE

• Plug in the appliance.

• The green LED lights up (middle temperature).

• The red LED flashes to indicate that the temperature inside the appliance is not yet sufficiently low for food storage. The red LED will normally switch off within the first six hours after the appliance is switched on.

• Place food inside the product only when the red LED has switched off.

Note: Thanks to the efficient lid seal, the appliance lid will not reopen easily immediately after closing. Wait a few minutes before re-opening the lid of the appliance.

FREEZING FOOD

Preparation of fresh food for freezing

• Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags, polyethylene containers with lids, provided they are suitable for freezing foods.

• Food must be fresh, mature and of prime quality in order to obtain high quality frozen food.

• Fresh vegetables and fruit should preferably be frozen as soon as they are picked to maintain the full original nutritional value, consistency, colour and flavour.

• Always leave hot food to cool before placing in the appliance.

Freezing fresh food

• Place foods to be frozen in direct contact with the walls of appliance:

A) - foods to be frozen,

B) - foods already frozen.

• Avoid placing foods to be frozen in direct contact with food already frozen.

• For best and fastest freezing, foods should be split into small portions; this will also be useful when the frozen items are to be used.

1. At least 24 hours before storing fresh foods inside the product for freezing, activate the fast freezing function by pressing button c for approximately 3 seconds. All green

LEDs ( b ) comes on.

2. Introduce the food to freeze inside the appliance, and keep the door of the appliance closed for 24 hours.

After this period the food will be frozen. The fast freezing function can be deactivated pressing button c for approximately 3 seconds.

If the fast freeze function is not manually deactivated, it will be automatically deactivated by the appliance after

50 hours.

FOOD STORAGE

Refer to the table on the appliance.

Classification of frozen foods

Load and classify the frozen foods; it is advisable to indicate the storage date on the packs, to ensure consumption before the expiry dates listed in months in fig. 6 for each type of food.

Advice for storing frozen food

When buying frozen food, make sure that:

• The packaging is intact (food in damaged containers may have deteriorated). If a package is swollen or has damp patches, the product may not have been stored in optimum conditions and therefore undergone partial defrosting.

• When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and carry them in a thermally insulated bag.

• On arriving home, immediately place the frozen food in the appliance.

• Avoid or minimise temperature variations. Observe the expiry date on the packaging.

• Always follow the storage instructions on frozen food packages.

Note:

• Eat fully or partially defrosted foods immediately. Do not refreeze unless the food is cooked after it has thawed. Once cooked, the food can be refrozen.

• In case of a prolonged power failure:

Do not open the appliance door, except to place ice packs (if provided) over the frozen foods on the right and left side of the appliance. This will slow down the rise in temperature.

PRECAUTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

• During installation, make sure the appliance does not damage the power cable.

• Do not store glass containers with liquids inside the product as they may break.

• Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the appliance as they may cause cold burns.

• Before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning, always unplug the appliance or disconnect the power supply.

• Do not install the appliance in places exposed to direct sunlight or near heat sources in order to avoid increasing power consumption.

• Do not put aerosol spray cans or recipients containing propellants or flammable substances in the appliance.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable liquids and gases in the vicinity of this or any other domestic appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

• Install the appliance in a perfectly horizontal position, on a floor strong enough to take its weight and in an area suitable for its size and use.

• Install the appliance in a dry, well-ventilated place.

The appliance is set for operation at specific ambient temperature ranges, according to the climatic class indicated on the data plate located at the rear of the product (Fig. 7) . The appliance may not work properly if it is left for a long time at a temperature outside the specified range.

• It is advisable to leave the appliance connected if left empty even for short periods.
